Carbon Brief has set up the “Global South Climate Database” to ensure that journalists from all over the world can contact scientists and experts from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific.
A UK-based website covering the latest developments in climate science, climate policy and energy policy, Carbon Brief set up the database with the support of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network.

The “Global South Climate Database” is a publicly available, searchable database of climate scientists and experts in the fields of climate science, climate policy and energy. It lists each person’s area of expertise, institutional affiliation, contact details and other relevant information.
The Oxford Climate Journalism Network – which is a programme at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford – is supporting Carbon Brief to promote and maintain the list.
With the launch of the database, the website provides climate experts from the global south, reporters and outlets from around the world the opportunity to get in touch with one another in the fight against climate change and its impact.
